Volvo S60 » Engine Mounts & Sub Frame Bushings

I was a little worried about the extra vibs at idle but decided to try this anyway. Idle vibs are no big deal. Easy installation and even pretty easy to cut out the old mount. I thought this could be a real pain but not at all.

Easy upgrade! Much better construction than the stock bushing. Thanks IPD.

An easy upgrade. (except for the original 18mm bolts being rusted tight...) Tightened up the shifting and introduced a little more vibration. A worthwhile sacrifice. A fresh breath for my T5m.

Installed the 2B1880 bushing in my V70 R this weekend. The rubber bushing was totally shot. Very noticable difference, smoothed out the acceleration. Very slight vibration at idle, as others have noted, but otherwise a great product. Only hitch on installation was my need to purchase an 18MM socket. Otherwise an easy 30 minute job.

This should be a 'must have' item for anyone with a V or XC. I pulled my old mount out and the small end bushing was completely trashed. There was nothing connecting the inner to the outer.

Shifts are crisp and smooth instead of the hard thunk that used to happen, especially from first to second. This helped clear up a bunch of idle vibration I was getting at lights as well.

If you're not sure when the last time yours was replaced, or even if it ever had been (in case you're not the first owner) please don't hesitate to buy this mount. Installation is a breeze and at this price you can't go wrong.

On a side note, this should definitely be added to the regular transmission section, especially if it's going to be a permanent addition to the catalog.

Great improvement - installs easily!

After reading a few of the "vibration" complaints and the warning from iPd, I went ahead and decided to order the 2B1880 mount for my C70 vert (manual) because I didn't want to install the junkie rubber OE ones from Volvo. Installation was easy and WOW, what a difference! I can feel the extra power from the lack of engine movement... and I have yet to experience any additional vibration.

I mounted this on my '95 855 wagon - it's a 2.5 10V non-turbo that has run about 240.000 km.
The difference is incredible.
I took out the original part, and that was clearly shot - apparently this little thing slips past even Volvo's own service shops - it was in 1500 km ago.
Put this new one in, took me about an hour because the old one was firmly stuck, but it was an easy install.

There is more vibration now, especially idling at a stop, but that kind of only underlines the increase in power that's running from the engine. Noticeable increase in power, smoother shifting, smoother (and quicker) accelleration.

This thing is HIGHLY recommended!

Installed on my '03 V70 with 47k miles. Noticeably better throttle response from a stop, at the cost of some additional vibration. To be expected relacing soft rubber with poly bushings. The whole mount is sturdier than the OEM part, just replace the whole thing... Will look into other replacement poly bushings though IPD in the future.

Wow, my 10/03 built 2004 V70 T5 manual had its stock mount clearly failed by 148K kms, this new mount completely restored the feel at the shifter, great product, worth every penny!

The added bonus is the ease of install, I didn't even have to jack up the car to get the OE mount off and the IPD mount on.
